Kaden “Why hasn’t he woken up yet?” I demand of the doctor, letting a bit of my Alpha command color my tone so he knows I mean business. Everyone’s heads snap in my direction at the sound of my growl. Declan’s parents, my Grammy and Papa, hadn’t left his side since he was brought in. And of course, my parents are here with them, since Declan is my mom’s brother. So here I am, the Alpha who can do nothing to give them their son back healthy and whole. I feel helpless and it’s making me snap. “I’m sorry Alpha.” The doctor sighs in exasperation. “It’s like I told you before, his wolf is healing him, but slowly. He’s lucky to be alive. If that guard hadn’t found him when he did, he wouldn’t have made it at all. “I know it’s hard to wait but it’s actually better this way. The longer he sleeps, the easier it will be for his wolf to return to full strength. It’s fortunate the guard recognized the scent of wolfsbane and used the gas mask or you’d have two dead men on your hands.” With th

Declan “Nerve damage?” Kaden questions, scowling as if the words themselves taste bitter. “And he has no idea why your wolf healed all but your legs?” When I suddenly woke from my weeks long coma to find my legs didn’t work, the doctor chased everyone from my room while he assessed the damage. When he was done, he could only shake his head and take a stab in the dark at why my wolf had been able to rid almost my entire body of the effects of the concentrated wolfsbane I’d inhaled, but my legs remained flaccid, useless. He’d decided it must be damage to my spine, affecting the nerves to my legs, but I know the truth is not so easily explained. “That was his best guess.” I confirm, allowing him to help me from the hospital bed to the wheelchair. “He said there’s still a chance I could walk again, with time and therapy.” I say what I know he and everyone else wants to hear, because what else can I say? That a disembodied voice, quite possibly the Moon Goddess herself, came to me in a

Olivia“Thank you for coming over.” I tell Ellie and her mates as they file through the door, their daughter Grace, running off to find my twins without a backward glance. “I know you're busy but there is a lot I need to tell you and, well, it’s better if I do it here. Nowhere to run to if I’m already home.”I huff out a nervous laugh and Kyle squeezes my shoulder encouragingly. After spilling my truth, he’s implored me to come clean to my brother and best friend, not just about the boys’ paternity but everything, even the mate bond. I’m anxious as hell but I’m determined to get my formal rejection and I know I’ll need their support while I heal.“Liv, what’s going on?” Mason asks, worry written all over his face. “And what’s Kyle doing here? No offense man. I’m glad you’ve been there for my sister but this seems like a family matter.”“Stop it, Mace! The overprotective big brother act had its place but I’m more than capable of taking care of myself now. I asked Kyle to be here for mor

Olivia “You didn’t have to come with me.” I glance over at Kyle from the passenger seat. “Nothing about this is going to be fun.” “I want to be there for you.” He insists. “Besides, I have friends in Glass Lake I can visit when you’re busy.” “Well, thank you.” I reach over to squeeze his hand. The minute Mason explained what little mom told him about Brynlee’s condition, Kyle insisted on coming along. I appreciate the support. I truly do. But I can’t shake the guilt eating away at me. I just wish I knew what I felt guilty for, subjecting Kyle to the disaster that is my life in Glass Lake or bringing a man home when I still have mates. Not that I owe them any loyalty. Ugh! What is wrong with me? “So, do I get to meet these friends? Admittedly, I didn’t go out much so I don’t know a lot of people outside of my family. But I’d love to meet them now.” “Uh, Sure. I mean, if you have time. You might be too busy with . . . everything.” He hedges, and I don’t miss the uncertainty in

Kaden “Alpha, we can’t find a trail.” One of my patrol officers reports in. “There’s no scent, no footprints, no disturbed vegetation, nothing. Whoever he is, he’s like a ghost.” “A ghost didn’t assault Brynlee Cross!” I growl, more frustrated with myself than him. How could I let this happen to one of my pack? That girl was my responsibility and I failed her. “Keep looking, soldier!” I bark the order, brooking no argument. I look around for my “cousin” Rhett, and wave him over. He’s the Alpha heir to the Forest Trails pack but I called him here because his tracking skills are unmatched. If we’re missing something, he’ll find it. “Anything yet?” I ask when he jogs to my side. “Too many scents.” He shakes his head. “And most of them have faded. If I can spend some time with the victim, learn her scent, I’m sure I can isolate it enough to find a trail, maybe even find where she was being held, but right now, I don’t know which scent to follow.” “That makes sense.” I agree despite
Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Ch. 22 It Can't Be
Kaden “What are you doing here?” I ask, entering the office to find Declan sitting behind the desk. I’d gone back to the hospital but visiting hours were over for the day. No one remained in Brynlee’s room and even the scent of my mate had faded to just a wisp floating in the air. I plan to head straight to the ex-Beta’s home and demand her identity but the pull of duty has me stopping at the office to order increased patrols in the area where I’d overheard the stranger talking earlier. “Hiding.” He scowls. “I can’t take another minute of mom’s fussing or dad’s pep talks. Even Dani is in on the action, cooking and constantly bringing me food. I’m going to weigh a ton before I get out of this chair.” “The danger is real, man. Your little sister can cook!” I tease, ignoring the elephant in the room, that there’s no guarantee he will get out of the chair. As if he read my mind, Declan addresses the topic himself. “I moved my legs in therapy today.” He announces with a proud grin. “N

Olivia I notice the second Kaden’s eyes land on me. Of course I do, because I can’t look away from him if I tried. Freaking piece of crap mate bond! I’d expected it to have weakened after all these years, but the pull to them both is as strong as ever. I force the smirk on my face, force myself to appear unaffected, but the heat in his gaze makes me feel like I’m burning from the inside out. What I don’t understand is why. Why is he looking at me like he wants to possess my very soul when he hates me as much as I hate him?Then confusion colors his features and he whispers to Declan, whose eyes sear into me, setting me aflame all over again. Despite the fire licking at my skin, the truth is crystal clear. Kaden doesn’t recognize me. Unsure if that realization should hurt or fill me with pride, maybe a bit of both, I slip my hand into Kyle’s, letting his presence ground me. I need to remember who I am, not who my mates believe me to be. Kyle has always done that for me. “No!” Kaden’

Kaden “What are you doing in my room?” Her eyes are hard and her lips set in a thin angry line. That look on her face guts me, but I shouldn’t be surprised. I failed her. I deserve her contempt. “I couldn’t just let you walk away! Livvy, your scent . . . we’re-” “Mates. I’m aware.” Her admission is bitter, full of unspoken pain and resentment. It’s like a knife to my heart. All I ever wanted was my mate, that person made just for me to love and cherish. How did I get so lost? How did I end up destroying the one person I was meant to protect? Fuck! The things I said to her . . . “I’m so sorry, Liv. I know those are just words but I am. If I’d known, I’d-” I knew it was the wrong thing to say the moment it left my mouth.“You’d what, Kaden? You would have treated me better? You would have stood up for me instead of behaving like the other small-minded idiots, making you just one in a sea of dickheads instead of the Alpha, the someone special and set apart you were supposed to be?
